Dark Seinfeld Theory Claims Kramer Was Always Secretly Married
Cosmo Kramer remains one of Seinfeld's most popular and iconic characters, but one fan theory speculates that he may have been secretly married in the show. Kramer began life on Seinfeld as Jerry's eccentric shut-in neighbor, but over the course of the early seasons, he became an integral part of the comedian's inner circle.
